The first power mean of the inversion of \(L\)-functions and general Kloosterman sums (Q699758)

In a previous paper [Compos. Math. 84, 53--57 (1992; Zbl 0753.11029)] the author showed that \[ \sum_{q\leq Q} {f(q)\over \phi(q)} \sum_{\chi\pmod q} {1\over| L(1,\chi)|}= CQ+ O(Q^{1/2}\log^2 Q) \] for a suitable multiplicative function \(f(q)\) and a certain positive constant \(C\). The significance of this result is that it concerns the first mean of \(| L(1,\chi)|^{-1}\), which has to be handled as \(| L(1,\chi)^{-1/2}|^2\). In the present paper the author introduces the generalized Kloosterman sum into the summation, for reasons that are not clear to the reviewer, and shows that \[ \sum_{q\leq Q} {f(q)\over \phi(q)} \sum_{\chi\pmod q} {| S(m,n,\chi,q)^2\over| L(1,\chi)|}= CQ+ O(Q^{1/2}\log^6 Q) \] for any coprime integers \(m\) and \(n\), with the same constant \(C\) as before.
